The way a police officer becomes an agent (or informant, or confidential informant) is through the use of the acronym MICE, which stands for “MoneyIdeologyCompromise (aka Blackmail)Ego.” During Martian’s dialogue in a discussion with Dr. Blake, the acronym “OBE” is incorrectly explained as “Overtaken by Events.” In U.S. government agencies, including the intelligence community and the Department of Defense, the correct/official explanation of the acronym “OBE” is “Overtaken by Events.” The opening credits feature characters and scenes from the series, interspersed with mirror panels. Former CIA Counterintelligence Director James Jesus Angleton, also known as the “spy poet,” described the intelligence game as a “wilderness of mirrors,” a phrase borrowed from a poem by T.S. Eliot titled Gerontion (the title is Greek for “little old man”) and the poem is an interior monologue recounting the opinions and impressions of an elderly man, describing post-WWI Europe from the point of view of a man who spent most of his life in the 19th century). In the world of intelligence, in the search for truth, it is difficult to distinguish reality from its reflection, an illusion if you will, as if we were in a “hall of mirrors.” On The Graham Norton Show: Cher/Keira Knightley/Michael Fassbender/Josh Brolin/Jalen Ngonda (2024). “The Agency” is a must-see for anyone who loves spy thrillers. First, the cast is absolutely incredible. It stars Michael Fassbender, Jeffery Wright, Richard Gere, and Katherine Waterston. This cast is more than enough reason to give this series a try, and on top of that, it’s a great show. I wouldn’t be surprised if this series and most of the cast nominated for some awards were seen during awards season. The series is about a secret CIA agent (Fassbender) who is ordered to leave his undercover life and return to the field with his former lover (Waterston), who he is still in love with. His love for her starts to interfere with his real life and his mission. If you are a fan of spy thrillers or a good mystery series, then give this series a try. You won’t be disappointed.
